Pros

A good place to start your career after college if you get placed on a good team. It's a global company, so you get to work with people all over the world.

Cons

There are a few SMEs who know everything regarding the legacy systems and business logic, but many are starting to leave. Devs are worked to the bone without praise. Working at a global company means working ridiculous hours to attend calls in other time zones.

There is not much room for tech career growth, unless you want to become a people manager.

Advice to Management

Listen to what the developers say and give them breathing room to make the right decisions and fix existing, outstanding issues. Put more focus on the tech side of the company; it's the part that's holding the company together.
